I do like some intellectual stimulation and will hold contrarian views just to test the waters of my own understanding or to test yours. I don’t always believe the things I say online. I want you, AND me to understand the world around us better.

thantik , to Work Reform in U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs

Our supreme court is packed with corporate lackeys. As much as I love this, it'll be overturned. It is a move in the right direction - you should not be allowed to take away someone's right to move jobs.

There’s no data at that link. There are some stock images of some graphs and a sales pitch. Did you even look at it?

2 of us have literally provided the proof. Yet you’re still here screaming “Slippery slope fallacy!”…

Yet we’ve shown you existing markets which are already there. We’ve already provided the proof.

You…linked me some advertising site that uses a stock image in order to try to sell you access to their data? …How dense… you know what, nevermind. You totally win! You got me! LOLOL

Movies used to be mostly rented out, yet this hasn’t led to the “rent only” situation, quite the opposite.

WAT? Is there some sort of massive increase in people buying blu-rays or something that I’m unaware of?

This has LITERALLY become our reality with movies. It’s not something far off in the future, it IS TODAY. Nobody buys movies or songs anymore, they have to pay for a SERVICE to listen to music, tv shows, and movies…

I remember a day when that list was 100x longer. Microsoft is currently in the process of trying to buy Nintendo, they’ve said so in court documents that have been uncovered.

So you’re just fine with corporate conglomeration where Microsoft turns into the publisher for all US games, kind of like Tencent in China…

That’s been my experience as well, the dogpiling crap. I even had someone argue “How are businesses supposed to stay alive if they don’t charge monthly!” – and they couldn’t agree that the business could create new IP, or create new games, instead of sitting on the same game for 10+ years.

Literally argued with a bunch of game-pass supporters on this very topic today, where we don’t own shit anymore and everything is rental only. Sick of people gobbling corporate cock.

Yeah, you’re dumb as fuck and I’m glad you showed your true colors here plain as day. Wannabe Nazi russian sympathizing trash.

Went from Dirty Liberals, to Capitalism to a problem, to feigning “concern” about Israel, and “America shouldn’t survive”… god damn orc.

When liberals bring up Russia, but ignore Israel who actually do the things they accuse Russia of, it is correct to point out the contradiction.

You realize that Israel is basically an intelligence arm of the US, operating within range of russia and the middle east right? MOST of our intelligence tools come from Israel. THAT is why nobody is pointing it out, because they’re operating under our umbrella.

I mean, it’s China’s too - as well as Saudi Arabia, and others. But Russia seems to be the most effective at it. Hell, for that matter, US intelligence does it abroad too. All first-world nations probably participate in this kind of destabilization tactic to some degree.

Why do you think the Great Firewall of China exists? Same reason – we were filling their heads with anti-communist propaganda and that’s the only way China deemed was possible to keep us out.

Hell, a large batch of our Republican politicians visited Russia on independence day 2018: americanindependent.com/republicans-congress-cele…

So yeah, they seem to be the ones courting our politicians the most now, and it seemed relevant to discuss.

That is currently Russia’s overarching goal with other places, according to American intelligence. The goal is to thrust enough distrust in the voting system to destroy democracy as we know it. There needs to be a full, complete, hard line in the stand here from all Americans, if we’re going to survive this.

thantik , to Home Improvement in Handyman is asking $500 to sand and fill the rot with putty, caulk and paint the door. Is that a fair ask? (NC) (album with multiple photos)

Is the handyman actually saying he’s going to do what you’re suggesting? Or is he saying he’s going to do it right and ignore your bogus suggestion to fill the rot with putty?

thantik , to Sysadmin in Have you guys heard of ipfs? It seems to be a distributed way of serving content. I don't think its anywhere close to prod ready in its current state but it could be one day.

It “could be one day” for the past decade. That’s how long it’s been around.
